Stopped in this cafe for a quick coffee and a slice of cake with my husband recently. We received very prompt friendly service. The coffee was nothing special but ok and cake tasted very nice, but really it was quite average.

This really is a little cafe with a few tables both inside and out. Probably will not return as there are so many other great cafes and restaurants around.

This hotel has been renovated fairly recently and I have to say it looks fabulous. We loved the presentation of the food, as well as how it tasted of course. The service was fabulous, very friendly and helpful with suggestions as we were having some difficulty deciding as everything looked/sounded fantastic.

On our most recent visit here my husband and I tried the Grazing Platter for starters, it contained so much I wasn't sure if I could fit in my main meal. My husband ordered the "Massive" porterhouse steak with a pepper gravy, he said it was awesome. The desserts looked so delicious but we really couldn't fit anything else in. Will have to try next time.

We were very impressed with the standard of food and service, we will certainly be returning.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Oscar, McLaren Vale SA

Unfortunately, my most recent meal at Oscars was very disappointing, both food and service were lacking. Service was very slow and when our meals arrived they were wrong, only 2 of the 4 meals were correct. When the correct pizzas arrived to our table, one was on the cool side and the other on the overdone side. The pizzas tasted bland and my husbands steak was crisp, not medium. Overall, extremely disappointing, we had spent so much time waiting for our meals that we didn't say anything as it probably would have taken another 30 or more minutes to get it right.

We have eaten here and had take away many times and unfortunately this is the second time we have been disappointed with both our meals and service. It is possible that we happened to catch them on 2 bad days, but I doubt it. I am unsure as to whether we will return.

Overall, toooo expensive and disappointing.

I have been here a few times now, my latest being around mother's day as my husband suggested I go and have a relaxing massage.

I was lucky I was able to walk in without a booking. I found the whole experience just wonderful. There is gentle music playing in the background, so calming, relaxing. I almost feel asleep.

The staff are always friendly and I am looking forward to my next visit. Prices are very reasonable starting from $5.

I have been going here for many years now as I have always received such great service, I do find them a bit pricey, but worth it. They always take their time to listen to how I would like it done and are never pushy. Always very chatty/friendly, that the time goes by so quickly.

They are still located in the shopping centre but have moved to another location across from Neds. Very friendly atmosphere, definitely recommend.

I have been back several times since my last review as this cafe has just great service and delicious food.

My friend and I had a light lunch and coffee here this week and I have to say the standard has improved since last time (not that it needed to).

They have a large menu with heaps of variety, so it is sure to please everyone. They even have a great breakfast menu, which I might try next time. My friend and I ordered a burger each, it was a lot larger than expected, tasted great, very fresh with quality meat.

Very friendly service, a great place to sit down have a coffee and something to eat with friends. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Red Orchid Noodle Bar & Restaurant, Victor Harbor SA

My husband and I have been celebrating his great new job so we decided to get some take away from here as we have driven/walked past so many times.

We found buying the Value Pack for $53 which fed 4 - 5 people was a great option. It included 4 main meals , entrees, rice, prawn crackers and drinks, really great value. I especially enjoyed their beef with peanut & coconut sauce - OMG, so delicious. I also have to mention that their squid with spicy BBQ sauce was absolutely fabulous. The servings were quite large, easily enough for the four of us, we even had leftovers. Their menu is huge and reasonably priced.

Our order was ready within 15 minutes of ordering and we found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful with what meals would suit our tastebuds for the evening. Really yummy food is what you will find here. Will definitely be returning.

This review is for Blackwood Cafe & Lunch Bar, Blackwood SA

After reading a review on this cafe earlier this year my friend and I decided to have a coffee and a light lunch here after doing some shopping.

We received very fast friendly service, just had a coffee each and a pastie and decided to sit outside as it was a such a nice day. We really enjoyed our coffee and we loved the pasties, tasted delicious.

Great place for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. Will be returning.

This review is for Burp, Adelaide SA

verified email - 19 May 2014

Went here for the second time and believe it will probably be my last. It really is quite expensive for what you actually receive. A burrito costing $8.50 and nacho's $5.50, it might sound reasonably cheap but I really don't think it is worth the money. We found the nacho's were quite bland and the burrito - average. I was hoping it might have improved since my last visit, unfortunately NO!

Will not be returning.

Had been a while since we had tried a pizza from here, but heard they had changed their menu so we thought we would drop in and have a look.

Absolutely Awesome Pizzas! They were so tasty with heaps of fresh high quality toppings and the crust being thin and crispy. I especially liked their new chorizo and prawn pizza as well as their garlic pizza. They have many new gourmet pizzas including a chicken and avocado, they looked and tasted absolutely delicious.

Always friendly service with a smile, will definitely be returning soon to try more of those delicious gourmet pizzas!
